next, on to what laser link said:
being punk is not about being whomever you want to be regardless. it's a very archaic counter culture with very strict rules of dress and conduct. it's about being like other punks and being different from the norm while being like the group...kind of a strength in numbers thing. deviation from the established punk dress and ideals will get you labeled as a poseur.
you may be thinking "why the fuck would anyone wanna live that way?" and the answer is just that punk is fucking awesome. it's more than just a music, it's a way of life. it's a statement. i never felt comfortable trying to fit in until i tried fitting in with the punks. it just works for me. i'll admit, it's not for everyone, but for the few that dig it, it's great.
